Father’s Day

PanoramaGeheelGroot2

Last week I posted the well known black and white version of this picture in a discussion about spankings in Dutch culture (see comments to this post). I said the 1976 cover from Panorama magazine was a favourite of mine and Harry responded by sending me an excellent quality scan in full colour (click to enlarge).

I like it even more now! :-)

Harry had a few interesting comments to add:

I thought you’d like to see it in color. I don’t usually care for totally nude girls being spanked, but this is a favorite because (a) the nude daughter and clothed father contrast is iconic of the generation gap at the time, and (b) the girl’s pose and wide-eyed open-mouthed ‘Oh no, I’m being spanked’ expression really sells the shot.

I believe some European countries celebrate Father’s Day on a different date but Gelukkige Vaderdag to you all anyway.

    Wow! That’s one of my favorite images, but I’d pretty much given up on seeing it in color. Thank you.

  2. Your’e welcome JS. Glad to be of service. Seems this picture is widely admired. She’s a very pretty girl of course which always helps. I’ve had an email from a reader who bought the issue when it came out.
    He says that “I remember spotting this cover, and buying it from a news stand in Piccadilly Circus.The main feature was a review of Jacleques Serguinnes’ little book Eloge de la Fessee.”
